High quality lens

I bought this lens for my Canon EOS 20D digital camera and I really like it so far. It focuses quickly and produces very sharp and clear images. As with any telephoto lens, you have to watch out for camera shake; I've had a few shots that come out blurry, but they're usually interior shots. I really like the 28-200mm range and find this lens very versatile for wide-angle shots of buildings or landscapes, as well as zooming in on portraits or taking close-ups. The lens feels solid and well made,

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Great price

Good leisure lenses

Inexpensive. At any extreme magnification there will be some ghosting/shadowing and loss of focus, but that's not the lens' fault, this type of artifact is common at large zoom ranges. I can easily see this lens being used for amateur family outings. And if possible, use it with extension tubes or a home-made enlarger to get some interesting macro shots. However, this will only be used in the entertainment context and not as a solution for professionals or even for professionals. It can also be

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other lenses

Good general purpose lens

If you're a professional photographer, you can probably ignore this review. But then you probably won't think about buying this lens anyway as you're buying a good L series, but if like me you just have a good Canon Digital Rebel (or equivalent) camera and enjoy the good shots, this lens might suit you very well. I took over 1000 shots in a few weeks and it worked as expected. For the price, it's ideal for an all-purpose lens. A few highlights. Okay, that's not the best picture quality. Even at

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky
